Martine

Some studio portrait and headshot work for Martine

Ashley

Some headshot and lifestyle portrait work for Ashley, who is looking to get some images to submit for lifestyle-type modelling. I normally end up on the darker side of the spectrum, so it is a nice change to be on the softer-white side.  These were some of my favourites from the shoot.

Virginia

Been super lazy with the blog posts. It is so much easier to just post images to instagram and be done with it. Virginia contacted me to do some portraits using colour gels and shiny make-up. I said sure why not. I bought some cheap gels from amazon, used some duct tape, and voila! 

Lauren

Lauren was my second PHD student that won some scholarship or award this year.  We went through a lot of different look but we finally decided on this one for her award headshot. The powerful, successful look.

People are subjective in their taste for headshots or portraits; we have to face that fact. It is not better or worst, but just a matter of personal preference. This is why it is very important to exhibit work you want to do and images you want people to contact you to do. Sure you can do other stuff and are probably very good at it, but you don't like doing it so what is the point. Of course even when people come to you, they are just in the same ball park. Although I like all these images here, there are two I personally like more. But I get it, I probably won't want to use an unfriendly artsy photo for my business portrait either. So I guess this is a bad example, but now that I have written all this, I don't feel like deleting it all and starting from scratch as I am drawing a blank. My wife is starring and waiting for me to start binge watching Mr. Robot again, cause I forgot what happened in the story line to continue to season 2.

I am terrible at social media, blogging, posting, or anything I am suppose to do to draw attention to myself. To be honest I hate all all of it.  It is a shame it is absolutely necessary to do social media, except a few who are way more talented than I will ever dream of being.  For now I will shamefully keep posting. It doesn't help I suck at writing in general or just have nothing to write about. In fact, I have said nothing about this headshot or how I really like the look of it and how I need make a nice image like this for myself. Maybe I need some "fluff" generator, there must be an app for that right?

Unfortunately he has recently cut his hair. Therefore, his wresting career I made for him will have to wait till it grows back.
